Marcus Norman, 25, entered the Bank of the West in the 500 block of North El Dorado Street about 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, police said. Norman approached a teller, stated that he had a weapon and demanded money, authorities said.

Norman fled on foot after the teller gave him an undisclosed amount of money, officers said. A citizen who was leaving the Cesar Chavez Central Library saw Norman run out of the bank, police said.

The citizen followed Norman, saw him change clothes and watched him enter a business near East Fremont and North Hunter streets, police said. Officers found Norman hiding inside the business, authorities said.
